Tell me what's gone wrong
I tilt my head there, under the faucet, but when I turn it on dry as paper
Call the neighbors
Who's to blame for what's going on
In the dark without a clue I'm just the same as you

O, they tell us there's poison in the well
that someone's been a bit untidy and there's been a small spill
Not a lot, no, just a drop
But there you are mistaken, you know you are
I wonder just how long they knew our well was poisoned but they let us just drink on

O, they tell us there's poison in the well
that someone's been a bit untidy and there's been a small spill
All that it amounts to is a tear in a salted sea
Someone's been a bit untidy, they'll have it cleaned up in a week
But the week is over and now it's grown into years since I was told that I should be calm, there's nothing to fear here
But I drank that water for years, my wife and my children

Tell me, where to now, if your fight for a bearable life can be fought and lost in you backyard

O, don't tell us there's poison in the well
that someone's been a bit untidy, that there's been a small spill
All that it amounts to is a tear in a salted sea
Someone's been a bit untidy, they'll have it cleaned up in a week
